If you aren't averse to rooting your phone, the "Wifi Tether" app is free on the Google Shop.

I have jellybean (CM 10 Euroskank ROM) on my Galaxy Nexus and I will swear by that app for tethering. I have been using it for years now.

Downsides?

Can all phones be rooted?

Upsides: remove bloatware, install apps that require it (like wifi tether), custom roms, custom kernels for things like longer battery life

What are the dangers?

I've had my Bionic since November and love it but wonder what I'm missing out on. Just started reading about rooting and not sure if I know enough to give it a try or if I'd get enough out of it

The only danger is that depending on the phone you might be hard brick it, and mess up the OS
